Ayer's Hair Vigor keeps tie hair soft
and pliant, imparts to it the lustre end
freshness of youth, causes it to grow
luxuriantly, eradicates Dandruff, cures
all scalp diseases, and is the most clean
ly of all hair preparations.
flVCD'Q Hair Vigor has given me
"si-ei perfect satisfaction. I was
nearly bald for sis years, during which
time I used many hair preparations, hut
without success. Indeed, what littlo
hair I had was growing thinner, until
1 tried Ayer's Hair Vigor. I used two
bottles of tho Vigor, and my head is now
w ell covered with a new growth of hair.

the falling, and restored my hair to its

Every person who is a citizen
of the United States, or has de
clared his intention to become
such, that is, the head of a family,
over 21 years of age (male and
female), has three rights to public
lands; One timber culture, one
pre-emption, and one homestead
right. A timber culture right and
a pre-emption right can be used at
the same time by the same person,
or a timber culture right and a
homestead at the sairle time. A
homestead right and a pre-emption
cannot be used at the same
time, and both require residence.
A person who wishes to use his
three rights, should first take a
timber claim and pre-emption'
after six months residence prove up
by paying 1.25 per acre, or 2.50
per acre within railroad limits, then
take a homestead, and that will
give one person 4S0 acres of land.
A pre-emption filing made prior to
date of alleged settlement is not in
accordance with the pre-emption
law. Hence, to secure a pre-emption,
the party should make settle
ment on a piece of land and tender
his declaratory statement and 3
for filing to the land office. A set
tlement does not mean actual resi
dence, but foundation for a house,
plowing, digging a well or cellar
to be followed up in good faith.
The claimant should in person, not
bv agent, start the erection of a
house, or begin some other im
provement on the land he selects
before he makes a pre-emption
filing.
A homestead filing costs $1C,
but within railroad limits $22. A
soldier's homestead filing C. A
person taking a homestead has six
months to get on Ins land and erect
a house. After five years resi
dence he can prove up by paying
&G or within railroad limits, $12,
and cost of testimony in the proof.
It costs 14 to file on a timber
culture claim. The applicant is
required to go and see the land,
and make his affidavits within the
land district. Five acres on a
quatter section is required to be
broken or plowed the first year,
and five acres the second year.
The second year the first five acres
must be cultivated to crops or
otherwise. The third year the sec
ond five acres must be cultivated,
and the first five acres must be
planted to timber seeds, or cuttings.
Ten acres are thus to be plowed,
planted ana cultivated on a quar
ter section, and the same propor
tion when less than a quarter
section is entered. Final proof
can be made on a timber culture
entry after the expiration of eight
years of compliance with the law,
and must be made within thirteen
years from date of entry. It is re
quired that 2,700 trees, tree seeds
or cuttings be planted on each
acre of the ten cultivated, and that
at least G75 living and thrifty trees
to the acr.e of the ten planted are
growing at the time of proving up.
Forest trees not fruit trees are
required.
A single woman must be 21
years of age to enter a homestead,
make a pre-emption filing or a tim
ber culture entry. A single wo
man forfeits her pre-emption filing
by marriage, but does not forfeit
her homestead or timber culture
entry by marriage, if thereafter
she continues to comply with the
law as to residence, improvements
and cultivation.
IC the food Is not properly digested it
becomes corrupt, and poisons the
system it is intended to nourish. This is
indigestion.
"Mv wife has suffered for many years
with indigestion. After trying ei cry
thing else recommended, she tried Sim
mons Liver Regulator. In three days
after taking it according to directions
she was in perfect health; she does mt
suffer at all and can eat anything she
wants without any of her previous
symptoms."
W. CSimEns, Bainbridge, Ga.
That oft asked question, "What
is done with all the pins?" be
comes more perplexing when
coupled with the statement that
tho factories of England, France,
Holland and Germany produce
about seventy seven million pins
daily.
Its concentrated curative power,
make Ayer's Sarsaparilla the best
blood purifier.

tor in Philadelphia is 'estimated at

Thoroughly test your cows and !
know whether they are paying or
not. lieet the unprofitable ones.

OI S2S,UUU,UUW
During the agricultural dis
couragements of the past few years
many a farmer has found his hogs
the most satisfactory p'roduce he
has been able to place upon the
markot.
An autopsy on three cows that
met mysterious deaths near De
catur, III., revealed a quantity of
twine almost a ball in the stom
ach of each. The twine was of
the kind used on otic of the farm
machines.
Poor, sandy soil should not be
left uncultivated. Carefully pre
pare the land, sow to buckwheat
and plow the buckwheat in when
the crop is in blossom. In this
way the land may gradually be
made productive.
An ounce of ground bone daily
for ten hens is sufficient. A quart
of grain a day for ten hens is con
sidered liberal feeding. Cooked
turnips and potatoes with chopped
clover, thickened with ground
corn and oats, is excellent.
The total value of the green
fruits bought by the United States
in Canada last year was 210,000,
nearly the entire sum having been
paid for apples of which 52,012
barrels were from Ontario, and 42,
151 were from Nova Scotia.
An Illinois farmer has discover
ed a)lan which he thinks will do
away with the ncccssfy of dehorn
ing cattle, lie applies a chemical
to the germ of the horn while tho calf
is very young, which stops the se
cretion of horny .matter, this is
probably just as painful as cutting
out the germ with it gouge, how
ever. A country, to be prosperous,
must of necessity raise a variety of
crops. A variety of crops is nec
essary to carry on an intelligent
and successful rotation so as to
guard against soil exhaustion.
Stock and poultry need a variety
of food to maintain health and pro
mote proper development of body
and energy. Man himself needs a
variety of food.
D. W. Iluntsays: uWe are very
apt to guage a cow's capacity bv
what she does at her best. A cow
that goes dry five months is likely
to give a larger flow of milk when
fresh than one that has not been
dry at all. Even if the cow with
the five month's test yields more
milk and butter for a seven day's
test than the other cow who has
been a daily yielder of butter for
years, it does noteprove the larger
milker to be the better cow.
Judged by the only true measure,
viz: that of yearly profit to the dai-
ryman, the constant milker is the
cow that stands
between him and
bankruptcy.
Safe and sure to regulate the
bowels, Ayer's Cathartic Pills
never fail to give satisfaction.

sicians. Some one has asked, Where do
